That Mr.. Willard thus brings some

The compietion Of the remainder o.
the Board viii doubtless aaFpsiae Wal
street more than the intFodacfion Of thI

retain m the Board Mr.. g. B. WFiRh
and all Of bis following. The rcasoI
for Mr.. ives retention has already besI
noted. In the cases Of Mr.. Wright ant
John A. Brookman Il IL understood
that Mr.. Willard vas afraid 10 ofol
them for fear they would drop tibet
large holdings Of stock upou the mar
kss, and that the effect Of such heavl
sales might interfere With his plans 10
